192 DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 
hairs of the branches and leaves. Both species certainly are closely allied, but sufficiently 
distinct by the size and shape of the leaves and the shape and hairiness or glabrousness of 
the corolla. In both cases the flowering and the vegetative branches originate from 
perulate buds. The bud-scales are much smaller in Diplycosia chrysothrix, more 
hirsute, and almost hidden by the bristles of the stem.

DIPLYCOSIA PINIFOLIA, Stapf, n. sp. (Pl. XIV. 4. 1-3.) Frutex glaberrimus. Rami 
nigro-fusci, graciles, dense foliati. Folia juvenilia fere filiformia, exisccando 
nigricantia, adulta anguste linearia, 2-23 poll. longa, 2-1 lin. lata, basi in petiolum

appendices tubulosos rectos abeuntes. Ovarium ovoideum, sparse pilis longis 
vestitum ; stylus glaber; stigma minute bilobum. 
At the Penokok, alt. 3500 feet (Haviland, 1297). 
This is a species of very peculiar habit, if compared with the remainder of the genus, 
whilst it approaches nearest to D. ciliolata, Hook. fil., in its flowers. 
DIPLYCOSIA HETEROPHYLLA, Blume, Bijdr. 853 (?) ; (forma parvifolia, an species nova ?). 
. At 7600 feet (Haviland, 1146). 
I have seen only fruiting branches. Some of the specimens of D. heterophylla (for 
. instance Beccari, Pl. Sum. n. 243, and in a less degree a specimen collected by Lobb on 
. Mt. Salak in Java), have, at least partly, leaves which approach those of Haviland’s plant 
. very closely, except that the latter are still more acuminate. The nervation, which is hardly 
Siem the Kinabalu specimens, seems to be of the same type as in D. heterophylla,
